500uW (0.5mW) 10m WSPR TX (Monday)

My beacon is on, but no spots. A reminder that the power was verified with my TinySA. I am surprised that even with this tiny power, it is regularly spotted at great distance.

UPDATE 1134z:  3 spots from the Canary Islands by EA8BFK (2880km). I think this is single hop F2.

Norwich museum exhibit - NOT amateur radio

The Bridewell Museum in Norwich well exceeded our expectations. The exhibits are on two floors and show the social history of the city.

It is interesting that, although we have no intention of moving, Norwich is a city we could live in. It has a nice feel.

630m QRP WSPR overnight

Quite a decent session on 630m WSPR with the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground with 10mW ERP with 24 stations spotting me in the last 24 hours.Also, some useful DX again.

70cm activity session last Tuesday

Every month I take part in the 70cm activity contest (UKAC) using 10W pep and my 2m big-wheel omni antenna. It is usual for me to stop on not very long with my poor voice. 3 stations were worked (see map).

630m QRP WSPR (Sunday)

At about 1608z my 10mW ERP 630m WSPR was turned on. So far, at 1640z widely spotted in the UK.

UPDATE 2215z:   21 stations have spotted me in the last 12 hours on 630m QRP WSPR. Quite good with the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground that the XYL and neighbours do not even realise is there!

500uW 10m WSPR TX

 Today, my 500uW 10m WSPR has been spotted by a couple of stations (EA8 and OH).

The last 24 hours was the best session this season on 630m QRP WSPR TX with 28 stations spotting my 10mW ERP.
